Legal Question in Family Law in California

In Pro Per goes to back of courtroom-lawyer in front-only lawyer gets voice

If court demands mediation and parties do not agree and mediator submits biased report for one side (depite compelling evidence in her possession) which recommends returning child from his custodial father to his mother and stepfather who abused him and taken away from them for this reason ( mother lied in court for stepfather but later both admitted to the abuse), if Father is In Pro Per and goes to the hearing to dispute the recommendations of the mediator but is not allowed to speak, has to sit in the back of the room because only attorneys can go up front, and the order is signed without a voice of the Father who has had full custody of the child for two years, isn't this unconstitutional? Only the attorney for the mother was asked by the Judge for objections and when he said no judge signed the order. The order also said that child could no longer see his psychiatrist (MD) but had to be seen by the local mental health who had all the power to decide issues regarding the child and family.
